About our toilet chip repair in Cove
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Cove
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Cove
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cove. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Cove get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
